Russian 1805 Guard Hussars on the workbench

Elite Miniatures Russian Hussars slowly getting close to finished
As part of the ongoing 1805-07 project it was time to get stuck into some cavalry that will be used in the Austerlitz linked scenarios for GdA.  As you can see, once again the figures of choice are Elites sourced from mighty Nathan at Elite Miniatures Australia.

I used to hate painting horses however the enamels and oils wipe is making life much easier
These should be based over the weekend.

  2. Nicely done, really colourful.
    I'm a big fan of Elite Minis, especially the cavalry. I see you avoided too many of the falling horse models here.
    Best wishes,
    Jeremy

    1. Hi JJ. Yes we both do like the Elite Miniatures. I actually really like that particular horse model funnily enough. Just breaks up the ranks of the light cavalry a bit.

    1. Cheers FMB - waiting on four more troopers as I had decided mid-paint to increase them from 24 to a 32 figure regiment for the period.
